cops_supr_mwrad: humidity and brightness temperature data from radiometer run by University of Salford during COPS 2007

Collier, Chris; Davies, Fay

Dataset Group
Summary
Integrated water vapour, liquid water path and brightness temperatures in zenith direction from radiometer run by University Salford at COPS-Supersite Rhine Valley.

Integrated Water Vapour and Liquid Water Path are measured with the radiometer in vertical pointing mode. The measurements are made every 20 seconds except when the radiometer was in scan mode, (scans were set for 32 minutes passed each hour and lasted approx 10 minutes) or calibration mode (set to run at approx 50 minutes passed each hour). Data started at 14:48 UTC on 13/06/07 and ended 17:00 UTC on 15/08/07.

Brightness temperature is measured with the radiometer using six elevation angles. In this dataset, only the fixed zenith direction is stored.
The measurements are made every hour at approximately 40 minutes passed the hour. Data started at 14:48 UTC on 13/06/07 and ended 17:00 UTC on 15/08/07.
